--- Respondents For Petitioner :
Mr. Sunil Sahu, Advocate For State :
Mr. Shashank Thakur, Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 04/09/2017 (1) Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the Collector, Balodabazar has stayed the proceeding under Section 40 of the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam till the final decision of WP(C) No.1239/2017 is pending before this Court, which is totally
unsustainable and bad-in-law.
(2) I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner . (3) In earlier writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 09.03.2017 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Raipur and therefore, there is no ground to stay the proceeding of Section 40 of the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam on the account of pendency of WP(C) No.1239/2017. Therefore, the Collector, Balodabazar is directed to proceeding with the matter, expeditiously. The others side are at liberty to represent their case and produce the material in support of their case. However, the respondents are at liberty to file an application for modification of the order, if they are aggrieved.
(4) With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition stands finally disposed of.
